Thought controlled devices are pretty primitive at this point.

The Engadget Show tapes today with HTC’s Drew Bamford and Chris Grant of Joystiq (and giveaways!) thumbnail

The Engadget Show is happening again, humans! Today, November 22nd, we’ll be bringing that live magic back to the stage as we sit down with Drew Bamford (you can read a bit about him here ), director of HTC’s Innovation Center (the place where things like the Sense UI are born). We’ll also be joined by Joystiq’s Editor-in-chief Chris Grant for a special roundtable discussion focused on gaming, and we’ll be demoing a bunch of new holiday titles as well as Spawn Labs’ gaming placeshifter ! As a bonus, we’ve got giveaways for everyone in the audience, plus one of the lucky attendees will walk away with that Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 bundle we just got our hands on — and HTC will be giving away a Droid Eris as well! The show takes place at the Tishman Auditorium at Parsons The New School for Design .


Clarion’s MiND finds a home in LA-area Nissan Cubes

Clarion’s MiND finds a home in LA-area Nissan Cubes thumbnail

With the whole “direct to consumer” approach failing epically, Clarion has evidently resorted to pushing remaining inventory of its largely unwanted MiND mobile internet device onto Nissan dealers in Los Angeles. In all fairness, we do suspect that these are moving more briskly than, say, Celio’s REDFLY , but we can count the amount of MIDs we’ve seen in public on two or three hands.

Toyota’s mind-controlled wheelchair boast fastest brainwave analysis yet, most stylish EEG cap thumbnail

Mind-controlled wheelchairs are becoming all the rage these days, but before you start letting your thoughts wander elsewhere, this latest from researchers at the Brain Science Institute (BSI) — Toyta Collaboration Center have what they claim is a system that’ll control the ride using brain waves analyzed every 125 milliseconds, which it boasts bests the competition by several seconds. Testers using the wheels and EEG cap system have achieved accuracy up to 95 percent which, as you can see in the video after the break, will make cubicle obstacle courses a challenge of the past.


Researchers tout progress in creating a brain on a chip

Researchers tout progress in creating a brain on a chip thumbnail

Mimicking the human brain has long been near the top of the list of dream projects for many a sci-fi-inspired scientist, and it looks like one team involved in the EU-supported FACETS initiative is now making some real, if still preliminary progress in the field. Apparently, they’ve built upon some recent mapping and modeling research and created an actual chip (or, more specifically a 20cm wafer), which could eventually contain a network of 200,000 neurons and 50 million synapses. That, the researchers say, will allow for them to take on larger scale neural computing work than has previously been possible, and could even lead to “practical neural computers” in as little as five years, which they say could be particularly helpful for things like internet search — or, you know, commanding a massive robot army
